Measures 7.25" long, bowl 3.25" deep

Condition: Very good, beautiful, vibrant colors remain throughout. We see a richly grained pattern of alternating colors, nicely preserved, still vivid from under a satin finish that's equally remarkably preserved for it's age. On closest examination we notice two inconsequential items: 1) 3 grouped, superficial straight marks centered on one side of bowl, & 2)  an extremely tight, inconsequential hairline irregularity. Does not wrap over lip; strictly confined to side of bowl. So tight it appears to be a mere color inclusion. Neither detract from this pipe's overall display beauty nor functionality. See all photos pls ...no obvious cracks, pits, abuse. No past repairs nor in need of any in our opinion, this quality pipe displays brilliantly, the burl or briar wood color variations are richly handsome.  It's original mouthpiece & tip remain fully intact bearing no indentational teeth marks typically found.  Interior bowl is clean enough to use, very well maintained. Overall, pipe's in remarkable condition for it's considerable 170 yr approx. age.. & exactly as shown within all our detailed photos provided for your consideration; inclusive of description herein.
